Here have arrived various kinds of dishes, drinks and syrups as also excellent beds for you to sleep on and food for your Horses To Guha who was speaking as aforesaid, Rama replied thus: We stand honored by you, by your very visit to us on foot, as well as your show of affection and are pleased with you Pressing gently with his muscular arms, Rama spoke these words: Oh, Guha! Thank heaven that I am seeing you in good health with your relatives.

Then Guha on that spot commanded his men as follows: Let water for drinking and forage be supplied promptly to Horses Having worshipped the evening twilight appearing in the west, with an upper garment made of barkon his person Rama then took for food only water brought by Lakshmana himself.

While Lakshmana son of Dasaratha, who was concerned with the welfare of the people was thus speaking the truth out of his affection for his elder brother Rama, Guha, overcome with agony and oppressed with adversity shed tears like an Elephant tormented with fever.

Hearing the command of Rama, Guha quickly received it, invited his ministers and spoke to them as follows: Let a beautiful boat that is solidly constructed, sails well and a helmsman in it, be brought to the bank to carry this hero across!

Oh, Guha! Remain vigilant in defense, finance, internal security and public relations, for a kingdom is the most difficult one to be protected! Then Rama, who was a delight to Ikshvaku dynasty, bade farewell to Guha and departed quickly, remaining undistracted, along with his consort and together with Lakshmana.

Having gone for a considerable distance in their chariots, carts, Horses and Elephants, they reached the RiverGanga close to the city of Shringaverapura, where the valiant Guha, a bosom friend of Rama along with multitude of relatives was ruling that region carefully.

Having spoken these excellent words to Guha the greatly illustrious Bharata, possessed of great splendor, said again to Guha the king of Nishadas as follows: O, Guha! By which of these two routes can I go to the hermitage of Bharadwaja? This region engulfed in waters of GangaRiver is not very much easy to negotiate and is difficult to cross.

Hearing the words of the wise prince Guha, who roams about in woods, with joined palms answered as follows: O, highly illustrious prince! My ferrymen wielding their bows, and very attentive, will certainly accompany you.

Then Guha the foremost dweller reported Bharata, who was having incomprehensible qualities, about the quality of goodness of Lakshmanaas follows: "I spoke as follows to that Lakshmana, who is endowed with virtues and wielding arrows bow and a sword and who was keeping a vigil for the safe guard of his brother.

Bharata of great renown, easing himself well within a moment, consoled Kausalya and while still weeping, spoke to Guha as follows "O, guha! Tell me where did Rama my brother as also Seetha and Lakshmana halt in the night? On what couch and eating what, did he repose? Guha, the Lord of Nishadas, thrilling with rapture, spoke to Bharata about the manner in which he made arrangements for feeding and reposing his beloved and kind guest, Rama.

Bharata, born in Raghu race, having passed the night in that place on the banks of Ganga, rising at dawn, said to shatrughna as follows: "O, Shatrughna! Wake up! Why sleep longer? Bring Guha the king of Nishadas quickly and be happy.

While those two Lions among men were talking themselves with each other thus, Guha came in time and with joined palms, addressed Bharata saying: "O, Bharata! Did you pass the night happily on the banks of the river? I hope all is well with your army.

Hearing Bharata s command, Guha returned to the city in all haste and spoke to those multitude of his people as follows: "Rise, awake and may prosperity ever attend you! Duly haul the boats to the bank.

That arrow released by Ravana s arm reached Sugreeva, having a bodily splendour equal to that of Indra s thunder bolt, and pierced his body in its flight as formerly Guha s spear when he discharged it at the Krauncha

Holding firmly the spike, which was bright as lightning and looking like a blazing mountain peak, Kumbhakarna struck Hanuma on his chest, as Guha skanda, the son of shiva struck Krauncha mountain with his powerful javelin.

My heart is hastening to see that Bharata, who came all the way to Mount Chitrakuta to take me back to Ayodhya, yet whose appeal was not executed by me, even though he requested me with his head bent low and Kausalya my mother as also Sumitra and the illustrious Kaikeyi my step mothers as also Guha my friend, as well as the citizens of Ayodhya and the inhabitants of the country side.

Leaping into the auspicious sky, the dwelling place of Birds, duly crossing over the terrific conjunction of Ganga and Yamuna rivers, reaching Shringaverapura and approaching Guha the chief of Nishadas, that valiant Hanuma spoke the following words in a charming voice: Along with Seetha and Lakshmana, Rama, your friend, that scion of Kakuthsa, of true prowess, has for his part enquired of your welfare.
